I have an equipment scheduler with label taken from the database as arranged. I would like to use an static alias for the label (of items - shown to be on the left ) in equipment scheduler, just for being more informative to the operator. Any suggestion?

If truly static, you could append it to the column in your sql query (SELECT 'Prefix-' + [sqlColumn] FROM [table]). Or, use a script transform in the binding to iterate through the json object and modify/add what you wish.

Agree with Dillon, just select your alias as `label` in the query. Notice the `items` prop accepts `id` and `label` keys.
